Happy Fall and Merry Autumn. By now I'm sure you all know that I'm going to ask you to post comments about your favorites of Fall/Autumn. Go! Comment! PS- For people that are still sending donations: Thank you, we love you and please include a mailing address so we can send you Thank You cards and cool stuff. GO!!!! COMMENT!!!! ___________________________________________ Also, for those of you who are going to vote in the upcoming election, Scott suggests this website: SpinSanity that is all. ___________________________________________ In response to the requests below to post a site that is non-partisian: If, by non-partisIan, you mean non-partisan, then what exactly do you feel is not so about the site I posted? -scott ___________________________________________ Again, I leave you dissatisfied. Well, being the cool cat that I am, I think it is only fair that I allow you people to suggest a few sites of your own. Here's the catch: they have to be completely equal in their critique of the running candidates. I'm talking 50/50 here. Now, if you're asking yourself whether I'm saying this stuff just to prove a point and probably to be a dick, well... you're right. Nonetheless-- suggest away.

Of course nothing is totally 50/50, but as far as I can tell, these sites are fair to all sides.

here in brezzy minnesota the autumm wind kisses ur noise every evening. and its worth the world :)

[amazingbel]

here, in faggotville pennsylvania, fall means coming back to california for thanksgiving! sweet! and may i say that the poetic beauty in the comment below this one is a complete piece of shit due to the dumbfuck misspellings. that is all.

Pumpkin owns all.

Last week I picked my own apples and then made my own pie. Lattice top and everything. Hot.

[smushmallow]

well i love everything about fall... its my birthday october 28th, trick or treating and dressing stupid r fun as hell, and pumpkins, candy, nice cool weather... yea its all great.

Scott... You could totally put a more politically saavy site on here. Maybe something that was a little more balanced. Pleeeeease, it would just make me feel a lot better. Maybe then I could sleep at night. Oh and about 'Fall'... ummm jumping into piles of leaves. That's top notch fun in Nebraska along with Husker Football. Midterms are pretty rockin' as well..

[stasis]

I love the autumn (and yes I like to call it that rather then fall) when it's just getting cold enough to have to wear a sweatshirt and you can snuggle down under your blanket with only your nose showing and be perfectly content to sleep like that

[incoherence]

I generally dislike fall for no reason in particular. I think it's the whole back to school thing.

[korex]

Hi Scott,
I didn't say that I didn't like the site... it is just that even the articles that countered liberals were not as harsh as the one's that countered conservatives. Two of the advertisments were for a book that claims Bush hasn't been honest with the press. There is not nearly enough material to cover Kerry's war rhetoric. I think that in addition to that site you could include one with party platforms. Shift the focus to the postive.:)

stasis,

there is no positive in american elections. only cutting down of the opposing party because both parties are equally terrible so we MUST focus on what is worse about the opponent. bush is felon, kerry has fake medals. does it REALLY matter?

in japan, negative campaigning is illegal. but the japanese are more civilized.

that's all.

[almost]

there's only no positive in the elections if that's how you choose to look at it. maybe there are more negative sites, but that doesn't mean there's nothing positive out there.
i think stasis is just pointing out that both sides should be equally represented because that's only fair.

I haven't donated in a long time. I suck.

As for the controversy over this political site thing, well, it's your site man, so do whatever you damn well please. People can post bi-partisan, unipartisan, non-partisan, parisian, part-asian, whatever else they'd like on their own pages. Unless they pony up and sponsor half the cost of the server each month, then there would be room for complaint.

Oh, and I dislike fall for the lack of bikinis.

[nick]

i didnt say anything about sites. i said campaigning in general.

besides the fact that it is nearly winter i like the leaves. plus it's easer to breath.

Um yeah scott im posting it on both this and the news diaries did you delete my linabeena diary? Cause if you did ill be very mad becuase i forgot the password nad i asked you to email it to my registered email linabeena240@yahoo.com if you could do that or at elast tell me that my account is deleted itd be great Lina btw im on my friends if so im gonna have to make a new one :(
**Im very annoyed** i know you probably wont care though

I love the changing color of the leaves and the way the sky looks at night. I love how everything looks like it is the perfect movie scene, plus my birthday is in Oct.

[waiting4u]

ok its a comedy site, but it insults both parties

[dramaqueen]

yay! potato!! ^_^ m/
-kelsey

the best thing about autumn is.... oh wait! yes! autumn! thats when the new uni year starts! yay!

sorry.

the best thing about autumn is that the air is fresh and cool. you can walk around in your shirt sleeves and feel lovely and free and earth-motherly. which is what everyone wants.

i think you should put a picture of yourself somewhere on this page, sitDiary News, because you are a faceless hero to us all. like spidey.

[moshimoshi]

I love fall for the general cooling down in weather;
'tudes;
and fashion.

This fall, I'm a little wary of Novemeber,
seeing as how I'll have to watch Bush win another election based hugely on half truths that put Michael Moore's to dust;
and meanwhile will be voting for a candidate who is more moderate than liberal,
as well as generally losing all faith in whatever "democracy" the U.S. used to have.

Talk about a civil nation we've got.

Hey, what's happened to the login expiry time? I click on someone's diary, read their entry just as normal, click "leave comment" and I'm logged out. Is this just a glitch or have you changed it permanently? 'Cause if you have changed it permanently I have to say it sucks.

If you don't know about it then excuse me for ranting, it's just getting slightly annoying to have to log in all the time.

The nice thing about autumn is that the leaves are colouring themselves and start dancing in a chilly breeze.

I like this autumn especially because I'm starting to study at university and I like the change in my life. :o)
What I dislike is standing on freezing cold train stations in the early mornings. :o(

But hey - I'm not a nagging person!

OY SCOOT. im so glad to see the site is still up and running. and looking amazing. i think ill probably send you a little something soon. we havent talked in forever. gosh, i missed sD so much, i hate to say it but i kind of forgot about it. until wyatt satid something to me last week about it. we are good friends again. its nice.

autumn= being amazingly cozy with a book and soup and interpol while its raining and your wearing a peacoat.

Hi again, Scott. I don't know if you've gotten my last comment, or e-mail, but I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could reset my password for me or something, because I still can't get into my diary after trying to reset my password, and I would really enjoy being able to use it again. My e-mail address is

and my account is gizmogadget
Thanks

[exploited]

fall is definetly one of my favorite seasons. i may sound crazy but i love when it gets dark here early like around 530 and you curl up in bed with all the covers and watch a nice movie. also i love haunted hayrides for halloween! oh and you cant forget football and the world series!

fall is so beautiful. i love the leaves and jumping in them. i like spending the cool fall nights with my friends,and dressing up all crazy on halloween, ofcourse.

mmm I love it when it gets windy cause my hair looks all sexayyy :)

and I can't wait for Halloween! mmmm

can't wait for winter as well..but autumn does rock my socks off!!!

i gave a donation under madeforsilver. did i leave an address with it?

and unfortunately we just moved to an area where we really don't have much of a fall. either rainy or not-so-rainy season. i miss the leaves.

[catherine]

I like the weather,the feelings,and the beautiful colors.In Georgia,it is so beautiful,i just sit outside for hours(If i don't have homework that is.)

sikboy
leave a note to a boy with cancer, give him hope, give him love. read his entries and understand him better. be a friend, be a nice person. he wants me to forget him so i won.t be sad when he dies, this is impossible. i want to make everything better but i can.t so i will do all i can to help make them better little by little.
thanks.
xo. jess

I like fall because it's not as humid and my hair isn't all poofy.
And also, football season starts.
Yeah Celtic!
They should be the official team of sitD.
!

I really appreciate you keeping up this site.
:) Have a good one.

[celticforever]

i like the fall because the colors are so nice and the temp. is just right.

i love sweaters and scarves.

and leaf piles make EXCELLENT chairs. especially if you have good company.

[inyourwake]

Prettyful Autumn walks round Abbey park, Bradgate park, and Castle gardens, crunchy leaves. And boots. And big, warm coats.
And I LOVE it when it gets dark early and you can walk around in the dark.
Can you tell that Autumns my favorate season yet?

~*~ Frostie ~*~

[frostie]

i love the rain and cold! :D

[duckymonkey]

pretty orange leaves are awesome.

[pinktoenails]

i recommend that if you suggest a website for people to go to on a public site you suggest a website that is nonpartisian and that doesn't ridicule other's politics

Fall is the Tito of the Season version of the Jackson 5. Or something like that.

Even though there are 4 seasons.

-back to school nostalgia when shopping.

-layering.

-candied yams.

-almost winter. (despite the fact that in southern california the first signs of fall are intensely dry winds and unbearable heat)

um, mr scott i believe u are mistaken.

here in the sunny south of the world also known as AUSTRALIA the temperature is rising ever-so-VIOLENTLY and the season is spring. its hot, humid and terrible.
if only it were autumn. in autumn its my birthday and then im legal :)
yay for 16!
